:help:
This is an emerengy! A virus has finally breached in my system! This is the second time when im struck by virus. It all begin when my computer was sending odd messages. I tought that someone has stolen my password and i planned to change it. But about 10 minutes ago, i received a message that my email is infested. They also told me to check my computer. Because i havent received a single virus (expect that Troijan horse i got once), i never downloaded any kind of anti-virus. But now im going to. I googled "download antivirus" and i got hellofa possibilities. so which one should i pick? :help: |

You should pick the "Get an antivirus when you get your pc" option.
Mcaffee is good, but now come all the people reccomending Nortom and Sophos..

You could try AVG Free it works fine for me... anyway, the important thing is that you MUST use an antivirus, it doesn't matter which one!

Do a google search for trend micro and run the housecall antivirus it's online and hopefully it should take care of the problem, if not search panda activescan next on google and run the online scan there hopefully these two can kill that virus.

Yeah forgot to put down my choice too should be AVG free, best of the 3 free imo, actually it should update automatically I turn it off though because I rather update it manually since yeah usually every day or second day they come out with it anyway.

Reinstall Windows, it's the best thing you can do, also install about 20 firewalls, 5 virus scanners, 4 spyware scanners. :P
